I'm sorry if this is the wrong weapon forum but what is Cholo's gun made of in LOTD. I looks like it would be a gas powered nail gun the way it's shape. Anyone have an idea? I would like to find something like that. Thanks for the help.

True but at lest it was quiet and the ammunation was reuseable. A person might be able to find something similar if they go looking for diving spear guns. I know there are compressed air versions but I have no idea if a pistol version was ever made.

I think if you're worried with stealth and reusable ammunition you should stick to archery. A modern compound bow or a high power crossbow is the way to go. Get into fletching and you can make arrows or bolts for a couple bucks an arrow or bolt. Maybe a little more for the first batch because you have to buy some tools.

(i can just see the conversation at the gate :well hello mr.sloppy is that a harpoon gun in your pants or are you just happy to see me????............lol)

This is funny... the whole time I watched that movie I kept thinking...

"Okay... the ammunition LOOKS like rebar and I guess it's propelled by either compressed air in a catridge or an explosive cartridge... damn what kind of power does that thing need to be able to launch a 12" piece of rebar hard enough to put it through a zombie's skull?"

I kept trying to think of some way to make it work...

I know it wont work unless you buy a real harpoon gun. My main question was how it worked. At first I thought it was a nail gun with Co2 because my dad has a nail gun that looks exactly like it but how is the damn thing gonna go through a human skull and hit the ceiling and partially go through that without losing any speed. If it was just a prop they could have made it a little more realistic.
